GRACE OF STOLEN TIME
ten below zero
snow on ground,
bed of asphalt,
stench of death
lingering in alleyway
innocence
shattered
precious soul
given
for survival
veil of tears
shrouds
bitter
agony
shadows
creeping over
crisp air
growing colder
snow
piling higher
trash bag
overcoat
the only
protection
from the
snow and cold
anguished
screams
fade unheard
voice weak
swallowed by
hollow winds
lost child
living on
the grace of
stolen time
